Gene discovery and polygenic prediction from a genome-wide association study of educational attainment in 1.1 million individuals

Given these background, when the first large scale well-powered GWAS of educational attainment came out, many were surprised to find no enrichment in glial cells. https://t.co/UWeHpRwIOI https://t.co/7BQLqm0yoa
